Alan Humm is the editor of the arts journal One Hand Clapping. His first novel, "The Sparkler", is about the young Charles Dickens. Specifically it's about his relationship with women: his complicated relationship not only with his wife and with his sister-in-law but with sex itself.

Humm has also written two collections of poetry: "A Brief and Biased History of Love" (out now with Culture Matters) and "My Father is Calling the Neighbours Names". His second novel, "Rough Music", follows a journalist and a Labour politician from 1945 to the early noughties and he is currently writing a book about an ’80s pop band.
